about

Damien Rice was going to hear this song and we were going to be famous. Matt and Bruce also lay down a super awesome groove on this tune. It is about a night spent in a yellow tent on lake Simcoe in the summer of 2006.

lyrics

I’m not sure I like to camp
As much as everybody else
But I know I like the smell of you in the morning
And I’m not sure I know the dew
Quite as well as my shoes
That I always leave outside of the tent
Until the morning light
That hits us in the face
As you wake you’ll find your place
Inside this small world
What a beautiful opening
To a textbook story that
Tells the tale of hearts unknown
In the underworld it shines like stone does
In the night
When the moonlight hits it
Just right

Oh the light shines on
This yellow tent
That we’re stuck in
Through the rain
Until the morning comes and
Fills us up with
Joy and strength on four hours sleep
The humid air makes you feel like
You didn’t sleep at all

But still you wake
From dreams just like you did back home in your bed
You scratch your head you
You scratch your head, you scratch your head
A bit more everyday
And as others all arise around you
Conversations with red eyes
Like the fires that burnt
While we were getting drunk
Or maybe we were just getting high
On each others eyes and lives
The fires that burnt
Were red and flowing stacks of smoke
Into the sky

And I
I saw your eyes

Oh the light shines on
This yellow tent
That we’re stuck in
Through the rain
Until the morning comes and
Fills us up with
Joy and strength on four hours sleep
The humid air makes you feel like
You didn’t sleep at all

And I
I saw your eyes

I saw your eyes
